PIN HOLDER.

Application led September 29, 1922. Serial No. 591,417.

T 0 @ZZ whomt't may conce/rn:

Be it known that l, Gnonen lt. SoHRonDnn, a citizen of thc United States, residing at Beverly, in the county of Lincoln and Stateof Kansas, have invented new and useful Improvements in Pin Holders, of which the fol-lowing is a specification. l

This invention relates to improvements in pin holders and has for its principal object to produce a device of this character which will clamp a paper of pins therebetween.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a pin holder formed of a pair of angular plates which have openings formed centrally thereof to receive clamping means for clamping a paper of pins or the like betweenv said plates.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a pin holder formed of metal plates and the base of these plates are bent outwardly and curved upwardly at their edges to provide trays which are designed to receive loose pins therein.

This invention also consists in certain other features of construction, and in the. combination and arrangement of the several parts, to be hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing, and speciically pointed out in the appended claims.

In describing my invention in detail, reference will be had to the accompanying drawing, wherein like characters of reference Ydenote like or corresponding parts in the several views, and in which Figure l is an end view of the invention in clamping engagement.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the same.

Figure 3 is vertical sectional view taken on line 3 3 of Figure l..

ligure el is a detail view of the clamping member forming a part of the invention. y

Referring now to the drawing, wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, 1 indicates a pair of plates rounded outwardly at the bottom thereof, and bent to provide trays 2, which have their edges upturned, as at 3, to receive loose pins, paper clips, or the like. The platesV have elongated openings 4t formed therein to receive a U-shaped spring clamping member 5 for clamping a paper of pins or the like therein, and these pins may project above the top of the plates so as to be easily removed from the paper.

F rom the above, it will be seen that after a paper of pins has been placed between the plates, the U-shaped spring member will permit the upper edges thereof to be opened wit-hout removing the U-member, by simply exerting a pressure upon the outwardly bent flanges or trays. It will be apparent that two plates are formed in such a manner that they hinge one on the other, and therefore make it unnecessary to take the same apart in inserting a paper of pins or removing the same.

It is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages and novel features of my invention will be readily apparent.

l desire it to be understood that l may make changes in the construction and in the combination and arrangement of the several parts, provided that such changes fall with* in the scope of the appended claims.

lWhat l claim is l. A pin holder comprising a pair of angular metallic plates rounded outwardly at the bottom thereof to 'provide trays which have their edges upturned, Said plates having openings formed centrally at the bottom thereof, and a U-shaped clamping member, engaging said openings for clamping a paper of pins between said plates.

2. A pin holder comprising a pair of plates having vertically disposed portions adapted to be arranged in spaced relation and being angular-ly bent to form oppositely disposed trays, said plates being provided with aligned elongated openings intermt-idiatc their ends at the juncture of the vertical portion with the tray. and a substantially U-shaped spring clamp passing through the aligned openings and engaging `the vertical portions for the purpose specified.

ln testimony whereo-f l aliiX my signature.
